City now odds-on favourites for FA Cup

Manchester City are now odds-on to lift the FA Cup this season after dumping Chelsea out of the competition and being handed a favourable draw in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men were impressive as they saw off Chelsea 2-0 on Saturday evening, despite making a number of changes to their first XI and their reward is a contest with Wigan at the Etihad in the last eight. As such they are now a best price of just 10/11 with Sky Bet to lift the trophy this year.

Of course this will be a rematch of last year’s final which was won by Wigan but the now-Championship side are even more distant second favourites than they were at Wembley in 2013.
